Lenses / Re: 24-70 or 70-200??
« on: November 21, 2012, 10:15:25 AM »
I guess you're talking about the 24-70F2.8L2 and the 70-200ISF2.8L2. Both are really excellent lenses with full frame and are complementary. Since your 50L1.2 covers the middle of the 24-70 focal range, you should get the 70-200. It is the best compromise. Of course if you have the money, you should get both and still keep the 50L2 for very low light or shallow dof work.

It will be nice if Canon can also come out with new hoods (with textured surface) that are more scratch resistant, such as that for the 70-200L2 and 24-70L2, for all lenses.

Canon should come up with an old-for-new lens cap exchange program, since we have already paid a premium for all their lenses!

The IS in these two lenses will be useful for videos

Problem is, I don't think the 24-70 (without IS) was designed with you in mind. I would guess that the main use case Canon considered was reportage - PJs and wedding shooters being the two biggest camps. - Both of those groups need to keep their shutter speeds up to reduce motion blur - in the region of 1/80s to 1/125s at least. - For that reason, IS on a 24-70 is not important for that use case, while it is important for a 70-200mm lens used in the same circumstances.
You are just part of an unlucky minority.
Canon possibly didn't consider the video crowd with bringing the 24-70 f/2.8 II to market. On the other hand, if Canon had included IS, all the PJs and wedding shooters would have complained about the unnecessary cost of unneeded IS with the lens.
It looks like Canon can't win - they are bound to make somebody unhappy, no matter what they do!
Agreed, and IS would also add unnecessary weight and degrade the IQ

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 5D Mark III Minimum Shutter Speed Setting- Lets make some noise!
« on: October 27, 2012, 03:09:43 AM »
There is a lack of in-between min shutter speeds to select from, in the auto ISO mode. For instance, there's no 1/160th. I hope Canon will fill up those gaps in the min shutter speed selection.
But it will be better if the min shutter speed can be set automatically as a multiple of the lens focal length.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Your experience regarding the differences in IQ between 1Ds MkIII and 5D MkIII?
« on: October 16, 2012, 08:50:11 PM »The 5D Mark III will have MUCH better detail than the 1Ds Mark III hands down. It has more megapixels, less low iso noise and a much more advanced anti-aliasing filter which will add about 10% more resolution to any lens you put on the 5D Mark III compared to the 1Ds Mark III. I've done very extensive in depth comparisons on all aspects of the 5D Mark III comparing it to the 1D Mark IV, 1Ds Mark IV, 5D Mark II, D800 and a few other cameras and have spoken directly to a few Canon technicians to gain knowledge on the cameras.

I bet they're reflections. See if they appear on other shots. Otherwise, nothing to worry about

« on: September 18, 2012, 11:22:42 AM »Good on you Canon - close the plants down permanently if necessary.
Don't let Japan be pushed around by bully boy China.
History says otherwise, and is one of the main reasons for what is happening in China now.

EOS Bodies - For Video / Re: Good video rig for 5D?
« on: September 05, 2012, 08:46:48 AM »
I would recommend trusmt http://www.trusmt.com/en/index.asp They are the OEM for Letus. I am currently using their rig with the 3:2 VF (works perfectly with 5D3) and FF. The FF quality is superb with no freeplay and the built-in stoppers are really helpful. Talk to Julie, she has been really supportive.
